Chapter 3763: A rat-throwing weapon


Chapter 3763: Rat Throwing Device

Once Guanlong sends troops to the palace, the life and death of the kings will be in the hands of Changsun Wuji. When the war goes well, they can be forced to slander the prince and call on the world to depose the prince. When the war is difficult or even defeated, their lives can be threatened. The prince, put forward various conditions, unless the prince is willing to bear the reputation of being unwilling to save someone, being mean and unkind, otherwise he will definitely be suppressed by Guan Long...

Now the prince wanted to kill them all. When they became hostages, the prince had to try his best to save their lives.

But your life cannot be left in the hands of others!

Li Daoming weighed the pros and cons, shook his head after a long time and said: "No, as kings of the clan, we have a noble status, how can we allow lowly soldiers and ruffians to enter the mansion? If we collide with the female relatives, the reputation of the clan will be destroyed and it will be irreparable. King Bohai The assassination of the two kings of Longxi was not necessarily done by the Prince of the East Palace. Maybe it was just a thief who took advantage of the chaos to break into the house and commit murder? This matter can be left alone until it is verified."

"Heh."

Changsun Wuji sneered.

He was afraid of death but refused to allow the Guanlong army to enter the palace, which meant that he had decided to admit his mistake to the prince and submit. After all, this was the prince's intention to assassinate the two princes of Bohai and Longxi...

But now that we've boarded Guanlong's ship, how easy is it to get off halfway?

"Then we will not allow soldiers to enter the palace for the time being, and will only enter the square to guard the outside of the palace. Be careful to prevent the 'thief' from repeating his old tricks and disturbing the family members in the palace."

Changsun Wuji's tone was light, but there was no room for bargaining.

Li Daoming did not have a palace, and his face was extremely ugly at this moment. He realized that he and the kings of the clan were on a pirate ship this time. The prince of the East Palace wanted to take the heads of the kings to frighten the clan and the civil servants and generals who had taken refuge in Guan Long. Guan Long wanted to use them to their advantage. After being drained, they were taken hostage.

Overnight, the kings of the clan became bargaining chips between the two sides, and were prone to tragic deaths...

However, even though he realized that he was in danger and his life was precarious, with his wisdom and courage, he could not break away from Changsun Wuji's control. He felt angry and scared, so he sat for a while and walked away.

He had fallen into Guan Long's control, and his life and death depended on his thoughts, but before leaving, he didn't even give Changsun Wuji a good look...

When Li Daoming walked out, Changsun Wuji snorted with an extremely disdainful expression.

Yu Wenshiji frowned and said: "Donggong's actions were a bit underhanded, not like a king's style, but it was indeed effective. Just looking at the panicked look of the Huaiyang County King who was at a loss in advance and retreat, we can tell that all the kings in the clan are now in a panic. , the power of deterrence is great. If we don't respond, I'm afraid that all the kings in the clan will stop shouting slogans to depose the prince."

The clan kings were not very powerful, at least they were looked down upon by the Guanlong clan, but their special status could achieve the purpose of slandering the prince. The nobles of Guanlong shouted "depose the prince", and everyone in the world thought it was just a power struggle, and that it was disobedience for those below to cause chaos. However, the clan kings shouted "depose the prince", which meant that the royal family was extremely disappointed with the prince, and easily gave people the impression that "the fault lies with the prince".

Once the kings of the clan, convinced by the power of the prince's assassination methods, would cease their activities or even change their tone, this would be extremely detrimental to the Guanlong clan.

Changsun Wuji held the tea cup in his hand and said: "Then let's fight back and kill a few of the important officials in the city who are leaning towards the East Palace. This will prevent those guys from jumping up and down all day to make a show of the East Palace, and it will also make the East Palace throw a rat weapon. , after all, once assassination becomes a trend, it will be reviled by the government and the public, and it will be a big stain on history. And the prince who started the assassination trend, does he really not want his own reputation? "

Methods such as assassination were extremely inferior and had no technical content, but the effect was extremely good. Changsun Wuji couldn't figure out how to deal with it for a while, so he could only follow the trend and fight fire with fire.

If you dare to kill the kings who favor me in Guanlong, I will kill the ministers who defend you. Let's all fight to see who can't stand it first...

Yu Wenshiji hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "It is extremely inappropriate to do this. If you come and go and retaliate, wouldn't it completely block the only remaining path for peace talks between the two parties? Wait until there are hundreds of people killed, and then There is no room for peace talks. Auxiliary machine, please don’t act on your whims. You must know that our biggest enemy is no longer the East Palace, but Li Ji who is stationed in Tongguan.”

The intention with Dong Gong is completely visible. If they can't fight, they will fight. If they can't fight, they will make peace. There will never be no way out. However, Li Ji was different. He led hundreds of thousands of troops to garrison Tongguan. His position and motives were unclear, and his behavior was really strange and unpredictable.

If Li Ji temporarily defected to the East Palace, led his troops to Chang'an, and tried to destroy Chang'an, who would be his opponent in Guanlong?

That would be in danger of destroying the entire clan...

Changsun Wuji remained silent.

How could he not see through this layer with his political wisdom? It was just that he was upset because the current situation was out of control. In the past, it was Dong Gong who pursued Guan Long and wanted to negotiate peace, but his eldest son, Sun Wuji, left the rest of the Guan Long clan aside and refused to negotiate and fought to the death. Now Guan Long wants to talk, Donggong wants to talk, but Fang Jun doesn't want to talk...

Mother!

What on earth is that Bangchui thinking?

The current situation is unpredictable and dangerous, but when we put it all together, we can learn that there are only three issues that are at the core and affect the overall situation.

Why did Fang Jun dare to treat Prince Jun's order as if it were nothing and send troops to attack Guanlong without authorization?

And why did the prince tolerate Fang Jun's repeated military expeditions without authorization, completely ignoring his majesty as the heir apparent?

What does Li Ji want to do?

Once we understand these three issues, we can make appropriate adjustments to the current situation, and the crisis can be resolved quickly.

However, the key figures who caused these three problems, Prince Edward, Li Ji, and Fang Jun, are completely contrary to their acting styles, making it impossible to guess and helpless. It is extremely difficult to understand their motives and plans... …

After thinking for a long time and weighing it again and again, Changsun Wuji could only nod his head and said: "You are right, the peace talks are the most important thing at the moment. There is no need to make trouble with the East Palace for a few clan kings without any room for change, and then ruin the big event. You step up the promotion of peace talks, and at the same time, you must warn Donggong not to push too far, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!”

He was really annoyed. Who would have thought that His Highness the Crown Prince, who was always gentle, courteous and thrifty, would actually resort to such a vicious and vicious move as "assassination"?

Although this move has endless consequences, at least for the moment, it has an immediate impact on the situation. It not only shocks the clan kings, but if the "assassination" is extended indefinitely and the elite "Hundred Cavalry Division" are dispatched to various places outside the customs, Assassinating those wealthy family heads or clan leaders who sent troops to Guanxiang to help Guanlong one by one will definitely make the private soldiers who enter Guanzhong now panic.

The reason why he did not immediately take the "tit for tat" approach to fight back was because he was afraid that Donggong would expand his assassination targets...

Yu Wenshiji raised his head and glanced at the sky outside, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will enter the palace after dawn."

When Changsun Wuji saw that it was almost dawn, he persuaded Yuwen Shiji to stay and asked the old servant to inform the cook to prepare a simple meal and serve it. The two of them had a simple breakfast.

During the dinner, Yu Wenshi remembered something and warned: "In the past two days, the grains and grains supported by the gatekeepers outside Guanzhong have arrived in Guanzhong along the waterway one after another, and are stored in the warehouse on the side of Yushitan by the Caohe River outside Jinguang Gate. In addition, The amount of food we have temporarily collected from various places in Guanzhong is staggering, and we need to send reliable personnel to take care of it to prevent things from going wrong. ”

Changsun Wuji put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said, "Don't worry, the grain storage place is located outside Jinguang Gate. There are several military camps nearby. It is only about ten years away from the main camp between Jinguang Gate and Kaiyuan Gate in the north. Here, there is a slight disturbance, Li Ji was stationed at Tongguan, and the canal was sailing up the Yellow River, but he didn't care about it. What he was planning was really unpredictable. "< br>


It stands to reason that Li Ji had a large army stationed in Tongguan. No matter what his position or plan was, he should not let the ships enter Guanzhong. It would be easy to destroy the ships along the coast. However, more than 100,000 troops from Guanlong gathered in Guanzhong, plus tens of thousands of powerful private troops. It cost a lot of money to eat and chew horses all day long, and they had to take the risk of sending the canal to cross the Tongguan waterway.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in Tongguan, which would only consume more food and fodder than the Guanlong army, but Li Ji turned a blind eye and sat idly by...

However, the Guanlong army finally solved the problem of food shortage and used sufficient confidence to deal with the East Palace.
